Mister is an alteration of Master; the equivalent female titles, Mrs., Miss, and Ms., are variants of Mistress. After the development of the word Mister for adult males, the title Master was retained and used for boys and young men. In some societies, this is now rare or considered affected, though more acceptable in Britain and still used in conservative enclaves in the United States. See more at master.

Today, if a boy were to be called by a title, Mr. would usually be used.

In direct address, Mr. is usually used with the last name only ("May I help you, Mr. Ericson?"). In indirect speech, it can be used with either the last name or the full name ("This is Mr. James Ericson." "Would you please help Mr. Ericson?") On envelopes, it is usually used with the full name.

In the United Kingdom, most Commonwealth countries and Ireland, a full stop (in the US a period) does not usually follow the abbreviated form: "I saw Mr Brown at the office talking to Mrs Price."

In US English the title "mister" is sometimes used informally by itself in direct address ("Are you alright, mister?"). In formal usage, the title sir is used ("May I help you, sir?)".
