The mortgage origination date would be the date you refinanced in 2020. 

 

When you refinance a mortgage (in this case a new lender), the old mortgage ceases to exist - it becomes a new mortgage. 

 

A new lender, new borrowers, new term, new interest rate, or new principal balance (cash-out or pay-down) would all mean that you got a new mortgage (some minor modifications excepted).
