As an English surname this is closely associated with the county of Kent, where there is a minor place name, Diprose. Unfortunately it's so minor that nobody seems to have deliberated on its meaning. It is possible that the place is called after a Diprose family. Without knowing anything of the history of the place name an explanation is not possible.
