The term Mister was derived from Master and was used, originally, to mean the same thing.

Later in usage Mister was reserved for the male head of the household and Master was used for the young boys/sons.

Therefore, today, your toddler is a Master if he also resides with his father, and remains a Master until he is the age of majority. If he is the male head of the house (there is no adult male in the household), he is a technically a Mister but can be called Master until he is old enough to bear some of the responsibilities of the male head of house.

Was the word Mr used in the middle ages?

Yes and no. "Mr.," or "mister," comes from the word "master," which in turn comes from the Latin "magister," meaning teacher or chief. The word was used in the Middle Ages, but was usually used either in the sense of a person in control, as the master of a slave; of a person who was expert, as a master craftsman; or of a teacher, as a person with a master's degree. At the beginning of the 19th century, the usage was similar to, but not the same as, what it is today. "Mr. Bertram" was a title that indicated the eldest male from a group of siblings. If the second son was named Edmund, he would have been called "Mr. Edmund Bertram," or simply "Mr. Edmund," to distinguish him from his elder brother.
