When did it become acceptable to address men as "Mr" and then their First name instead of their last name?

Seems to be a Southern thing. First noticed it in when stationed in Mississippi. I found it very respectful.

I don't know how long, but this is common here in Louisiana. Black, white, hispanic, asian... everyone here says Mr or Ms (first name). I grew up hearing this.

I sure that OP is talking about in a professional setting, even in the South that has not been common. I was born and raised in Houston, TX, lived in Slidell (New Orleans)LA, for many years and now I live by Shreveport, LA.

I work in a law firm in New Orleans. I hear this every day at work.

I feel for you, I would kill myself if I had to be a low life lawyer. Not enough money in the world to do that , and the funny thing is they don't make much. I guess that's why they are often caught stealing from their clients.

In prison, they call you by your last name as if it's your first. It's to remove individual personification.

Isn't that how maids and butlers were addressed in England? Just by their last name without Mr. or Ms.?
