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

Everywhere I go now I am addressed formally by my first name instead of my last name. So for example, if my name was James Smith, I would be addressed as "Mr James" instead of "Mr Smith". How & why did this become the norm?!? I don't get it!
Quoting: Clarence Worley Last time I did that was when I was in kindergarten and couldn't pronounce my polish teacher's last name.
