Unknown predicate error in "find" command

I am trying to find all files having names ending with the ~ character like this:

find /path/to/my/folder -type f -name="*~"

However, I am getting the error: find: unknown predicate '-name=*~'

Does anyone have an idea ?

There should be a space () instead off the = between -name and the "*~"; 

find /path/to/my/folder -type f -name "*~"

Read more about -name at the Man page.
