Apple refers to activating a device as "unbricking." Your "last unbrick date" is the last date the device was activated with a carrier according to Apple's systems. As this information is always sent to Apple from all carriers that want to activate devices with a carrier profile (device settings specific to each carrier). If you activate a device with multiple carriers through its life (take it from T-Mobile to Aio Wireless for example), it will have multiple unbrick dates in the device history maintained with Apple.
