The bonus policy at my company says:
If an employee resigns or is terminated before the payment date, no bonus is given to him.
This is my first job, and I am confused about the meaning of the word resign. Is resignation date the day when I submit my resignation letter or my last working day?
My understanding is: resignation date is the last working day, and notice date is the day of submitting the resignation letter.

Your company policy you quoted is unambiguous.

If you submitted your resignation before the bonus payment date, you are not eligible for the bonus.
The only case when resignation date is the last working day is when you resign with effect from the next day, and your manager/supervisor lets you go without serving the notice period.

There is no incentive for an employer to pay a bonus to someone who has submitted a resgination, bonuses are for retention not just performance. It is possible that there could be a legal case to get the bonus depending on the legal interpretation of the wording but you would use up in legal fees far more than the potential bonus most likely and you aren't guaranteed to win. If you have submitted your resignation, the chances of getting the bonus have to be close to 0. You could ask HR for an interpretation if you have already submitted a resgination.

However, you give notice of a resignation. You go to your employer with a letter that says "I am telling you today that I will resign fourteen days from now". "If an employee resigns" is not the same as "If an employee gives notice".

This is slightly off topic, but if you are in a situation where you might resign close to when you get the bonus, you can ask the new employer for a hiring bonus to make up for the bonus you won't get. Or you can ask them if you can delay your start date so that you can give notice after receiving the bonus. You have to do this at the start of the negotiation though, not after you have agreed to the terms.

In most cases resignation is the day you put in the notice. So I am guessing if you put in a notice before the payment date you will not get the bonus.
No, notice is not resignation. It is an announcement that you will resign at some point in the future. If the employer disagrees then the contract is not clear, and unclear terms in a contract are interpreted against the one who wrote the contract.

Resignation Date - the date you will cease employment with the company. The day before that is your last working day. (ex. Resignation July 8; Last working July 7)
Notice Period - no of days for turn over; based on your company policy. Meaning you should hand out your resignation letter ahead of time. (ex Resignation is July 8, notice period is 30days. Then, your submission of resignation must be on or before June 7. Note here that your June 7 is the start of notice period of 30days.

There is no incentive for an employer to pay a bonus to someone who has submitted a resgination, bonuses are for retention not just performance. It is possible that there could be a legal case to get the bonus depending on the legal interpretation of the wording but you would use up in legal fees far more than the potential bonus most likely and you aren't guaranteed to win. If you have submitted your resignation, the chances of getting the bonus have to be close to 0. You could ask HR for an interpretation if you have already submitted a resgination.
