There is no need to use grep, find can do exactly what you seek.
Use:
find -iname "*.html" -printf "%fn"
It will look for all html files and only prints out their name.
If you want all names at the same line:
find -iname "*.html" -printf "%f "

@Irakli See manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/find.1.html and scroll down to-printf. There are various other %something flags you can use, e.g. %s for the file's size.

Dec 30 '18 at 11:19
"%fn"maybe better in case some filenames have spaces in them.
