Mr. Young

Mr. Young is a formal title of address used in English-speaking cultures for a male who is perceived to be young or whose marital status is unknown. It is a less common form of address than "Mr." and carries connotations of youthfulness and inexperience.

Usage typically depends on context and the speaker's familiarity with the individual being addressed. Some might use it as a respectful way to address a young man, especially in formal settings or when lacking information about his marital status. It can also, less commonly, be used to differentiate between multiple men named Young, where one is noticeably younger than the other.

The prevalence of "Mr. Young" has declined over time as "Mr." is generally considered a suitable and respectful title for any adult male, regardless of age or marital status. In contemporary usage, consistently addressing a man as "Mr. Young" if he is not significantly younger than others in the context may be perceived as condescending or implying immaturity.
